Kevin M. Prendergast

Hired Kevin Prendergast to modify child support. Met him downtown and gave him a retainer of $ 2500. Later that day i told him to put it on a different credit card. He said he had already run the card. He said he would run my new card and credit back my old. He ran my new card but never credited back... the other one. At the first meeting he said he would file by that Friday. Over the next two week i kept trying to contact him to find out the status of my case as well as get my money credited back. He would not return calls or answer emails. After 2 weeks my ex served me with papers instead. He had never filed. on my behalf. After that i sent him an email telling him i no longer wanted him as a lawyer. He didn;t respond until the next day telling me he had answer her filing and that he didn't think we should work together anymore. I have requested several times a copy of our contract, a statement of the work done and a refund of remaining funds. He has not responded. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the state bar.This whole experience has been a nightmare. How many people have to go through the same experience until the state takes his license away?

I would only recommend this man to my worst enemy and even then that might be too cruel. My husband and I felt completely scammed. He screens phone calls, does not return emails, takes your money and runs. We filed a formal complaint with the state bar and are currently waiting on a decision. Avoid y...ourself the headache and hire ANYONE else but this man.
